Correct. It's not so much that I want to own guns or, specifically, HCAW, I just don't want to cede more control to a government that I'm not sure does the right thing with any regularity. And I damn sure don't want government goons going house to house collecting legally purchased firearms.

I believe they have very strict requirements on gun ownership. You know I looked this stuff up before I asked, right? 2009, 32k homocides, 3k by firearm. They manage to kill a lot of people without guns.

Did you look up the population and population density of India while you were getting your facts? You are aware that India has 5x the population of the US, right?

how many are mass murders? False equivalency. The focus now is to try and limit one particular type of murder, not all murder. I'd be satisfied if we applied the same standards to gun owners as we do to drivers. Fair enough?
